My My My Minestra - Italian Vegetable Soup With Pasta image

Some of Italy's finest ingredients make up this warming soup. Adapted from 'Pasta Cooking' by Parragon.... the original recipe called for spinach, which I didn't fancy, so I subbed zucchini. I get the impression that our zucchini are generally a bit smaller than those in the Northern hemisphere, so balance the amount used with your other vegetables, just feel your way! You don't want your soup to be over-loaded with any one vegetable. Hope you enjoy!

One of the things I love about this minestra soup is how versatile it is. You can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped kale or spinach for extra greens.

I love adding a bit of spice to my dishes, so I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup. It gave it a subtle warmth that balanced out the sweetness of the vegetables.
